Here we go again...
After wiping out in AS I decided to go back to HG...and then wiped out to Bugsy's Scyther.
After restarting yet again all was going well until I battled a Hiker's Onix in Union Cave. This battle was made to be daunting given that Cyndaquil was my only special attacker that could actually hit it. Cyndaquil got Onix down into the red with Ember but sadly Onix was too strong (relaxed nature probably didn't help) and we had to say goodbye to Sid too soon.
I lead with Mareep against Bugsy and fortunately Static activated after it used U-turn first turn. Eve (Zubat) took care of the cocoons and Ol' Reliable (Geodude) finished the paralyzed Scyther. Whitney was a pain as usual, I put Clefairy to sleep with Kuchinashi four times but Clefairy woke up after one turn EVERY TIME. I got fed up and switched in to Nat (Nido), which ended Clefairy with Double Kick. Nat DK'd Miltank once before I had to switch into Ol' Reliable. Two Magnitude 8s including one crit (may or may not have mattered) sent Miltank to the butcher, and that's why we call Geodude Ol' Reliable.
Caught a lv16 Ratatta on Route 39 and decided to train it until it learns Crunch, evolve it and use it against Morty (I know I'm ultra cautious but I want to reach Kanto dammit). Eve, now a Crobat, took care of Morty's first two mons but I was forced to switch into Ratu for Gengar, Hypnosis fortunately missed, Crunch did the rest and Haunter committed sudoku to give me the Fog Badge.
